it's a final in the west region from Charlotte North Carolina 89 matchup goes by the way of the nine seed Spartans beat the Bulldog 69- 51 another win for Tom ISO as a worst seed that is the most all time he continues to add to that list Michigan State came into this game about a onepoint favorite and they clear that comfortably and the total closed around 130 and at first half total anywhere between 59 and 60 A5 also cashed for under betters Tyson Walker Game High 19 points for spy hey there folks I'm Tommy TR with our analyst BJ Taylor BJ what stood out to you about Michigan State's performance today well we know with Michigan State and Tom ISO it starts on the defensive end and that's exactly why they were able to continue to have success here today right you look at them holding Mississippi State to only 50 one points Josh hubard was really the only guy for the Miss Mississippi State Bulldogs that was able to get it going he fought hard finished the game with about 15 points so I was really proud of Josh hub's performance but if you're Michigan State this was a good first step right they want to continue to stifle teams defensively now tell you what they're going to need to continue this defensive play because they most likely are going to face UNC North Carolina in the next round and we know what they present as an offense so if you're Michigan State good start today good efficient offense you look at the numbers there 50 % from the field 43% from three Tyson Walker really carried their offense through the day so if you're Michigan State good start to the NCAA tournament Tom ISO and Michigan State continue a fantastic run of NCAA tournament appearances BJ that was actually in Jeopardy at times this season but when they get in tomizo certainly knows what it takes to Come Away with a win what is it about ISO type teams that they're always ready to play right out the gate well he he coach ISO is one of those guys he can sell his team on the fact that it's not about our seating it's not about where we start in the NCAA tournament it's one game at a time it's about going out there and competing right they're not a team that's going to be intimidated or get caught up in oh well we're the nine seed we're the eight seed we're not in the top whatever they don't care about any of that in in Lancing I promise you that much coach Isel preaches that day in and day out so even in the next MCH up against the number one seed North Carolina Tar Hills they're not going to go out there scared they're not going to be afraid you know when you go against coach Isel in one of his ball Club he's going to have Warriors out there on the floor and they're going to compete at a very very high level you alluded to it but let's finish up with a potential match up with North Carolina Tar Hills do have Wagner in the round of 64 but if it goes chalk as expected what does Carolina do that will give Michigan State some fits well it's the fact that one thing that Michigan state does a nice job of is taking the other team's best player out of the game the only issue with that is when you're playing against Carolina they have two guys who essentially can go night in and night out depending on who their best player is right you have an RJ Davis on the outside and then you have an Armando Bott inside so I would expect for Michigan State to double team a lot of arando arando bott's post feeds inside and then allow RJ Davis to go off and if he kills him then he then he has his day but I would expect there'll be a lot of attention on amond bot because they don't want him to dominate inside they're going to want to force RJ Davis to make some of those tough contested jump shots which he's more than capable of doing PJ good stuff Taylor will be with us throughout the day here on CBS Sports HQ if you need your college basketball fix podcast form the guys in the I college basketball podcast have you covered co-host Gary parish and Matt norlander every single day with tournament Recaps day by [Music] day
